Another Spur incident is going viral… but this time for something lovely [pictures]

Feels!

Over the last week, a horrible incident at Spur shocked many people and caused much outrage. The incident involved a man threatening a woman with violence, after grabbing her child and nearly plucking the child from the table. It was awful.

While we certainly shouldn’t just “get over” the incident, Jelena Mandic has reminded us that good things also happen at Spur.

The mother shared the following post on Facebook and it has already been shared almost 20 000 times. She wrote:

Another Spur “incident”.❤ Our children are our greatest treasure. They are our future” Nelson Mandela

He brought her a balloon,
She fed him her waffle,
He held her when she came down the slide …❤

P.S This was on Tuesday at the Blackheath Spur, if a mom of this boy sees this post, please contact me to arrange a playdate. ????

As you might expect, people have reacted with all of the feels. And one user had a suggestion. Mdletshe Ndumiso Nduh wrote: ” Guys let’s us make this happen….every Quarter family day around our cities….guys from the Cape….Jozi….Dbn….and all the cities…..let’s share the moments to show our government that no need to fight.”

We think this is a great idea. While we know that we cannot dismiss serious issues with happy, clappy, kumbaya, we do know that it’s far too easy to get bogged down with negativity and forget about all the good that is happening in this amazing country of ours.
